Pix must keep a stat on beacon capping I swear. Same thing in cycles over and over. I'm in my tailspin right now too. Was in gold three. Been dropped to silver 2 in 2 days. No one capping or holding beacons. It's not seal clubbing either. Competition is pretty close on upgrade stats. Just seems almost every match my blue team takes 3 beacons for the whole match. I've busted out my beacon runners but no use. Beacons fall faster than I can cap them. And I get the big 20 cup loss for low damage. Love it! Funny thing that was mentioned. Seems like I'm firing blanks. I have more than a few times unloaded a full salvo of db fury into a bot at damn near point blank range only to take off a sliver of damage. Reticle lighting red. All systems go. Maybe it's lag? Lag has been far worse with new update. I could have written this word for word with mt recent experience ... added to this is the disconnects I dropped match after match with the dreaded "to Hangar"... IDGAF about the league points anymore ... dropped from gold back to Silver 2 in a day & win % to 38 ... Just cracked on and did my "dailies" ... "destroy 2 robots in a single match with light robot" ... woohoo fire up the gepards & stalker to keep Gareth company .... Win /Lose? Meh |

Well, a couple of days ago I was teetering on Gold 3, just needed to keep above 1700 for 5 games. 2 or 3 games in, I'd inevitably end up on the island of misfit toys against what seemed like an all star squad, fall below and have to start all over again. After most of a day of this starting and restarting, I finally stayed above long enough to get promoted. And then the losing began. Couldn't kill anybody, couldn't cap any beacons, couldn't seem to do much of anything. So I said screw it, put in my almost crappiest bots, and set to getting myself back down to Silver 1 until I could level some stuff up and add a 4th hangar slot. I wasn't exactly tanking -- maybe quasi-tanking, without obviously looking like I was tanking. Kind of the opposite of Bruce Lee's 'art of fighting without fighting'. At least that was the plan. But don't ya know, all of a sudden I couldn't lose. My scrawny level 2 Cossack was capping 2 or 3 beacons, my 4x spiral Patton was mostly staying out of the firing line, and my thunder/Punisher Vityaz was doing better damage than my thunder/pin Leo. Something like a 5 game win streak going before fate caught up again and the mostly losing resumed. But I had lost so much rank by then that I'm now squarely back in silver 1, which is fine. Win pct dropped from 55% before moving up down to 40% now, which is not so fine. I'm still consistently in the top 3 damage getters, even with just three bots, and for awhile I was capping beacons like a mad man when I needed 40 beacons to get 150 WP, so there's some positives among the carnage. I'm about 8 hrs away from Taran #2, my new favorite weapon, which I'll concentrate on leveling up right away, and a couple of days away yet from enough gold for hangar slot #4. Then I think I'll level up all my spirals and be one of those guys. You know, the guys I hate playing against. And then I may still lose a lot, but I'll be taking at least 25% more of them with me.  |

I must be playing on the red team at the moment as well. I yo-yoed around S2 to G1 for what seems like ages then this weekend I'm solidly in G2 with a 66% win rate. I've been checking team mate and enemy hangers and nothing stands out. The occasional tanker/fader on either side but not enough to make a difference. The honeymoon is well and truly over. I have been smacked back to Silver 1 from Gold 1 with a win rate of 38%. Just keep levelling, just keep levelling..... Not sure I won't slip to S2 either. But I have been squadding in a mixed squad so facing much higher level. |
